i was going places to go. there is no channel that covers world views like we do as a roman correspondent. i am constantly on the go covering topics from politics to close legacy of environmental issue to scale of this camp is like nothing you've ever seen. health care, so what we want to know is how do these things affect people? we revisit places and stay even when there are no interaction headlines. al jazeera really invests in that, and that's a privilege. as a journalist, ah ah, hello, this is a news hour on al jazeera, fully back to go live in doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. a 3 month state of emergency is declared in 10

turkish provinces, devastated by 2 awful earthquakes. more than 5000 people have been killed in both to key and syria. rescue workers are digging through rubble to find survivors. international efforts are being stepped up to how those affected with countries pledging aid and emergency t. also this our o t, as, as a back on the 3 st francis to say no to the government plan to reform the pension system. i'm trying to guess roscoe, it's sports as we reach the business end of the club. well, come brazil, south american champ, his flamingo, and to the phrase, the semi finals against al hello reports for morocco and brazil, coming up this hour. ah, thank you very much for joining as we begin this, use our inter kia where the president has declared at 3 months state of emergency

after 2 powerful earthquakes on monday, russia, ty, berto on says it will apply to the 10 provinces affected by the disasters. he said, more than 50008 workers are being sent to the regions to help determine danish boot. all i long included in our work will continue until we have saved every life that we can in the rubble. and until we are sure there is nothing else we could do further, we are mobilizing every possible operation. and many thousands of people have been transferred to each and every province to help. while more than 5000 people have been killed across turkey and syria, and the search is on for survivors. but freezing temperatures are complicating those efforts. rescue teams from 14 nations have arrived into kia, more expected in the coming hours across the border. the syrian government is calling for urgent help form the united nations that go live to al jazeera natasha

. go name was monitoring the situation for us from a stumble. bring us up to speed with a search and rescue operations natasha. ah, i'm in a distribution center that is buzzing with activity. let's take a quick look around. you're seeing all the semi trucks they are being loaded with diapers, food blankets. unfortunately, because of the 4 airports that have been closed in the south of turkey, the semi trucks will make a half day drive to the south to get to these affected areas. 10 cities have been declared disaster areas. and as you mentioned, the schools have been canceled in those areas for 2 weeks. many of those areas do not have electricity. there are problems with natural gas supply because some of the power, natural gas power lines have been disrupted. the government has said that it hopes to repair electrical power plants that have been impacted in the south, as well as these natural gas pipelines to help people get much needed heat by

wednesday. but as you can see, the blankets in the goods that they need that will come from a stumble and other cities around the country are desperately needed because the weather remains quite cold. with temperatures dipping in the evening below freezing, president ergo, on spoke to the nation for a 2nd day in a row. reminding that the country is in a state of morning saying that all schools in the country are canceled for one week . the rescue operation remained very challenging. their president on said that he has spoken with 18 heads of states, that there are already more than a dozen countries with rescue teams and emergency workers on the ground assisting. but it is going to be a long effort. and as evidenced by that, there has been a state of emergency declared in these 10 affected cities that will take the country right up fully until to the elections slated for may 40. there are

presidential and primary elections slated in may. natasha, thank you very much for that update. natasha. go name my for his 70 sample and al jazeera is bernard smith is in one of the affected areas, shanley or fi in southeast center key. this is, was left of an apartment building that had mainly we're told, syrian families in it's 12 separate blocks, search still ongoing for survivors, but there's been no sign of life erotically. they stop digging and pulling away the rubble asper silence to see if there's anybody calling for help from inside the house. been there have been no calls for help, isn't in the snippet dog looking for signs of life as well. unfortunately, no success, but this is just a very, very small example of the massive, extraordinary humanitarian challenge facing the turkish or far it is not just in general but, but across east and southeast. in turkey, it's home to some 12000000 people. the turkish government is encouraging everybody

who can, to try and leave it doesn't want people here because the risk of other buildings falling down because of the risk of the shocks. so it's offering $5.00 tickets for people to get on flights out of this part of turkey and over to istanbul and other cities on the western side of the country, humanitarian flights that are coming in. they will be able to take people out to want to leave this area. the government wants to be able to concentrate on the humanitarian response and trying to rescue people trapped in buildings. it doesn't want any more buildings falling down with people inside the bodies. why it's hoping that as many people as possible, we'll just leave this reed i, let's give you now an idea of just how many earthquakes and tremors have happened since the magnitude 70 quake struck 1st early on monday morning. that one and the subsequent magnitude $7.00 quake are the dots in red. and as you can see,

they've been dozens of after sharp since then many have been of magnitude for point 5 or stronger and they're all taking place within the east anatolia in size. make fold system when i speak to david rotary about this is joining us from london. he's a professor of planetary geosciences at the open university. thank you very much for being with us. as you've seen this, been a number of aftershock seems the 1st to be quite struck on monday. is it possible 1st of all to predict how long and how bad the aftershocks will be? it's hard to predict. i mean good been 7 in the past 6 hours that a stronger than magnitude for 2 of those have been magnitude 5, so nothing of 6. so i will get weaker as time goes by. it's hard to tell her quickly, but i will die away. i would hope by tomorrow, but no more after shocks of magnitude, 5 know before or lower,

but it could go on for weeks. if you close to be at the center of an individual after shop, you will still feel the ground shy. of course that's going to be alarming for the local people. yeah. and what leads to these after shocks? what, why we seeing so many of them. ok, well you bring the spoken about based on a total your fault, which is a play boundary between a ravia colliding though it wasn't keeping squeeze that the west and emotionally locked up most of a time. and a lot of strain is being built up over decades and it released at one point suddenly. and that was the initial earthquake released the strain at one point. it related somewhere else, these rocks totally really, but just slightly elastic. so they stick and then they flip, what's one pieces of the fault is moved out of a new bond. pace of a full will move in years, even less energy each time. so if you have to shock tend to get less energetic. if you look at the bath in the same places, each other but different,

different places along the bolt under different depths. so it's the whole system is just releasing itself releasing on the strain that's been built above the decades. we know, of course, that turkey is prone to earthquakes. why? why is it so vulnerable and why have these 2 powerful earthquakes? the initial one's been particularly devastating. well took it has quakes because it's being squeezed between the right in plate which is colliding note woods and the you are raising texts on it like to know if you are and most of asia and turkeys in the collision done is being pushed. active west, left to and sideways, most movement on they based on italian folk, which is where the problem is this week. and there's motion on the north, on and told him was in the northern coast to squeeze. but surely we squeezed in by some something ball. somebody's going to that sideways. and once the boat loads,

you get a lot of earthquakes, typically close to the thought. there are other folks navy ideas, cuz the west coast took as well, whether it was a big question, my lifetime, but it's a different system. it's all because you're rigid to shelby is not motionless. plates are moving around, close to the on the total impulse is possibly the most dangerous place in turkey. goes right over to start. johns, have been several big lakes, is there. is there any way to, to predict these big earthquakes and what can, can turkish authorities do to better prepare for the next big one? ok, and we can't predict weather quite. we'll have to, we know, be of the zones law will throw quakes to occurring close to base plate boundary volts in particular. we know well now that the south western parts of the east on it's all in folds has moved. we may be concerned about the more know, based in part of that to know based of what of original figure the quote was,

but as it moved, maybe the next to good will be that. but that could be 10 years. 50 is 100 years away. but what we can do to prepare is build buildings which improperly resilience and what's your job saying of the damage in turkey. and someone in syria is a 5 or 10 story apartment blocks, which would still be a quake. and every so often red one which is collapse were one of those few come out. they should have been just as resilient as the neighboring buildings that maybe they were not built so well. we know how to build buildings which was done seismic shaking cost 50 and 2025 percent more than to build a building that isn't going to resist in a way. but if you look at the damage you get, when a building does collapse, it is worth spending that money. understand is a poor region understandable surveys will be architects. are you trying to understand the inspectors may be willing to look the other way. if somebody wants to save some money, but you can't put it the way we know, of course,

we'll reoccur in this region. it could be next year. it could be saw this time. it could be 50 or $200.00 us time, but we should build buildings which is more resilient to many buildings just fallen down. we really ought to state. that's what killed the collapsing buildings. thank you so much david, for talking to us about this. david wa, 3 a professor, punish harry geosciences at the open university. we appreciate your insight and time. thank you. you're welcome. while i search and rescue operations continue, international aid efforts are being stepped up that's after the turkish government appeals for help. ty, setting up $10000.00 mobile homes in disaster areas in turkey and syria. it's also sending 120 rescue workers, a field hospital, and humanitarian support. al jazeera, stephanie deka is on a plane carrying aid from carter to, to this report, reaches us from the field and we apologize for the quality of the audio. the 3rd day i found

a national effort in this light. uh huh. 100 or so a medical supply line mattresses, hardware a a, a with a one time line in well, if not speak to reseal car bony, who is the regional director for the near middle east of the international committee of the red cross, red crescent is joining us from geneva, thank you for your time. can you update us 1st on the situation like now, from what you're hearing from your teams on the ground, starting with turkey,

which has the highest death toll one of the most urgent needs right now. look on the team. we have a, a main, the on, on the syrians side and what we see as an emergency is obviously the medical help to all the people wounded and heavy machinery to move the buildings of which were destroyed. so there is a sense of, of emergency for this response in syria and obviously also in turkey mass. but i, i did the focus on, on syria is also necessary because of the very challenging environment in which i operate, fight. while the civil conflict is playing out during this disaster, resources were already stretched because of the war and in syria. how complicated is the relief to syria in both, you know, governor town areas and the north west? i think the, the 1st element, you know, is that this, this, her, the quake is, is,

are just one disaster in the long series of disaster. you know, a couple of weeks ago we were working on the cholera epidemic in the area of an apple. he's one of the heated, the hardest hit ari off. and before that you, you had the financial crisis. you had the covered, you had the fighting and the bombing. so we have a population which is already extremely vulnerable, even without these heart quake. and these were heard, quake comes on top of already a dramatic a situation. so to act in such an environment is, is very difficult because you to prioritize needs. and you know that when you exclude somebody, it's often at the expense of, of his life. oh, very challenging, difficult have resale is age able to get in to sir? yeah, through the border look i thing we have to day

a resolution from the security council allowing cross border operation. but, but if you allow me because you raising the issue of access and we know that in serious access was always highly politicized. then i believe that these disaster should be an opportunity for all stakeholders, even in, in, in syria and iran, syria to seriously reconsider bay approach to you maintain access and stop politicizing something which is very often, especially now life saving. yeah. and as you know, international sanctions are, have been imposed on the syrian government. should those be lifted to allow this humanitarian effort to go ahead? look, i mean, the sanction it is a political act. you know, and as you may turn actors, i don't want to comment on, on a political act, which is the sanction. what i can say is that human italian action should be,

ah spare from those sanctions. and we're very happy to do to know about the resolution adopted in december to have exceptions on sanctions. and we saw many states aligning deb there. they sanctions to this new parodying, created by the un resolution providing a standard i to an exemption. these being sets, you know, but it can action is needed. so ab, while fear aid is, is going dis, syria because of those sanctions. but a lot of countries have be still have offered aid. but there is a huge time gap between pledging the said deploying it, am synchronizing. what were the local authorities on the ground? how are you able to coordinate the best response on the ground? i think for the actors present in serious. ah, it's for, it's easier, you know, because we present, we have the channels, we have the dialogue, we have the partnership, for instance, with the sale of syria robbery, crescent,

which allows us to be quickly operation. that's what we've done in the last 24 hours, 48 hours with good deploy, very quickly, our medical support are in the area of our label and let the kia, which are the aria hardness hit. so we could act quickly. now, what is needed to phase are the consequences of a hurt quake? it is, is a different set of tools, you know, as you made her inactive, we don't have the, the heavy machinery to move. ah, though, that the pieces of the buildings will collapse or which collapse on people. and this is a bit the, the concern is that we see this, the solidarity around these heard quake, and rightly so focus on, on turkey. and we really need to see this solidarity also expressed with the situation in syria. we know very well that there is a political environment which some time makes it difficult for the stakeholders in

the area to cooperate on. you may turn issues and separated from day political and military ah, the emergencies, but it's now it's really now it's a unique opportunity to reset of been the humanitarian approach and deeply decisive . and it needs to happen, as you said, very, very quickly. because every day, every hours that we let the spot people are paying the price. thank you so much for talking to us have resale capone from the international committee of the red cross, red crescent, joining us from geneva. thank you for your time. thank you for as well as we've heard, search and rescue operations are being hampered by the weather situation on the ground in both turkey and syria. let's bring in our present a car leg from on this any improvement in the weather. while a devastating earthquake and diet weather conditions, they're only set to worse than over the next few days. at least a temperature wise. even if the winter weather conditions do is not currently,

we've seen temperatures dipped down. they weren't double figures earlier today. well they've come right down and they will continue, continue to do so. as we go into the night, we saw some snow across more northern areas and, and east that's turned to rain. but for much of syria, we have seen some sunshine through the cloud and, and on tuesday. now as we go into the night, you can see temperature starting to dip down rather dramatically minus 5 in aleppo, minus 4 in dealbreaker. and as we go into, you can see we look at the i, so some chart, those temperatures showing where the blue starts to creep down in says syria minus for india because we are expecting some slight improvement over the next few days. so in snow on wednesday, sleet on thursday, by friday we will see some sunshine but still very cold to this time of year and that for after the worst winter storm swept through turkey year. now as we go into wednesday, you can see so some winter weather lingering around eastern areas of turkey are, dries up, however, for much of syria, but we've got another blast coming through. it's once again going to drop

temperatures rather dramatically in aleppo minus of 4 degrees by night on saturday, but at least the skies clear up, but not very favorable conditions. unfortunately, over the next few days did very desperate situation on the ground. i thank you very much car for that. i've read more head on this al jazeera use. are we taking a look at some of the days that i use, including i'm the new one of the bill. bill region of south central tele or forest fires continue to be out of control and we're international help is just beginning to trickle in us. china lifts on 2 groups, traveling abroad after 3 years of colbert 19 restriction. and we hear from the 2 black quarterbacks said to make history of this proposal this week, that's coming up later. and i 1st to france where the 3rd day of nationwide strikes against pension reforms is

underway. these are the latest pictures of people gathering in the 7 port city of my say, this week, hundreds of thousands of people have rallied against president united my plan to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64. members of the national assembly met on monday to debate the bill. let's go live to hurry forfeit, who was in paris for so how big the protest this week, harry well, they're looking big again. the last 2 were each more than a 1000000 people on the streets in towns and cities across the country. and again, it does seem like there is a big turn out here in paris where at the plastic opera in the middle of the city today. although there is talk of their plans for another strike on saturday. so there's a potential the numbers a little bit to be split between this tuesday strike. and the fact that i strike there is recognition from the unions. but it is difficult to lose that a is what many of the people coming out on these projects. nonetheless, many,

many got it here again in paris. and as you say, strike action as well. it's affecting very seriously the transport that work. post the workers are out on strike. teachers, we've seen farmers unions and 5 and 55 is represented here as well. all of this in opposition, as you say, to this key run by the president's a manual micro to raise your time at age from 60 to to 60 board. something that he campaigned on in last year's election. it is something that he sees as extremely important and the consensus that the amount they're spending on pensions needs to be tackled as the demographics shift forward in terms of age in this country. and that there will be up a $14000000000.00 euro hole in the budget money, but nothing happens. however, the people out on the streets and a large majority of people in the country. so that should be a different way of talking that's. that's increasing tax on the super rich forcing

companies to contribute more to pensions, but not to raise the very prize retirement age. so big crowds again this week, but something that changes from previous weeks harry is that the bill is actually now being debated at the national assembly. what's been going on that ah, that's right, that started on monday afternoon and the opposition party is they've motioned their arguments bay. i've tried several that trying to to get the anti build stripes or at least put to a referendum. neither of those really has much traction within the national assembly, but what they are also planning is this huge slew of amendments. $20000.00 proposed amendments to the legislation, which gives them more time, more opportunity to argue their case. and even if the president in micron does get the numbers in bottom, he doesn't have a majority for his own party anymore. even if he gets the numbers devoted through the delaying tactics could still stymie that. so that would leave him with another option which would be to force it through by decree, which in turn could lead to

a confidence vote potentially fresh election. so the stakes are very high, but for him he sees this as a very important part of this 2nd batch. the most important part of his 2nd term tackling this extremely important, very thorny issue, but he's coming up against something that french people very much surprised the idea that they work until 62. they are then able to retire with dignity and enjoy a longer life expectancy. the people here now have fully in their retirement years . so this is something that he's determined to get through, but there is huge opposition to him doing certain hiring. thank you for that. harry reporting and my friends central paris voters in ecuador have rejected the reforms presented in a referendum that was called by the president guillermo lasso has admitted defeat. his popularity rating is down to 20 percent. many people saw the ballot as a vote on his leadership. alessandra, he has more from the capital kito president,

yet more or less have bet on sundays constitutional referendum and local elections to turn around is fully to go. fortune local, real ill. domingo. what happened on sunday was a call from the people to the government and we are not going to evade that responsibility. but it was also to the entire political leadership and the state didn't ecuadorian. people have asked us, asked all the parties and groups to stop fighting amongst ourselves and to get to work a lot to solve the urgent and concrete problems of our people. more the matter. instead of majority of ecuadorian sterns dear back on him on election day, voters said they were divided on the 8 questions of the referendum. that latter said was paramount to address the country's current political and security crisis. some voters believe him. i voted yes because i believe that these reforms and necessary

for the country, we are still at the moxie and construction. but most perceived the referendum is little more than a way for last to try to regain initiative. after proving unable to pass any reforms through our hostile congress. no, no, no, no. i mean, last saw already had more than enough time to try and help the country that he felt their new jobs and new help for the youth feel help. there is so much crime and we can't live in peace anymore. the referendum also called for the extradition of citizens, linked to organized crime. and the rise and violence also crept into the election campaign to let this mayoral candidates were killed before the poll opened. some had to vote under extreme security measures. something equity had never witnessed before. oh, in the end, the real winner of the night was former left his president rafael korea. you

received the results in mexico, surrounded by his allies, candidates of his party, took back the mayoralty of the capital quito at for the 1st time in 30 years, that of the country's largest city guayaquil, career lives in exile in belgium. he was sentenced in absentia to 8 years in prison in 2020 and controversial bribery allegations lather up. i'll as it as an even less united, imperfect boot the right last across the board at national level. the conservative sexual pot in particular is left with very few provinces while we see the left and in particular progressive movements that careers and the indigenous party rising by . it leaves the government in a much more unfavorable scenario rally, but it still yet not the last leaves last so it little to no space to my newer. he already barely survived that impeachment vote back in june, following weeks of protest, their rock, the country, and raising doubts now that he will be able to remain in office for the 2 years

left in his administration. allison, the ramp it, i'll just see akita. i chill is battling his deadliest wildfires on record that have killed at least 26 people have been burning since thursday. i hate wave is complicating efforts to waste english. the flames and latin america editor lucio newman. reports from santa juana in appeal, reach, enough, chilling, and inferno is raging across large parts of chile. these are the deadliest, wild fires on record, and they're destroying everything in their path. sent the who? yes, it is to your old adore look, a rascal inspector. what's left of the property, he's lived in his entire life. it is in willowbrook in this is where the iron stove was, he says, his cat and his dog were burnt alive with everything. he and his family owned philip ebay to every other people for suddenly from inside and on top of the house, the flames came, there was nothing we could do,

but to escape. wildfires can be fickle. donna's lot of those watermelons and a few chickens that hit in the vegetable patch survived, but not his 2 neighbors who were engulfed by flames when they tried to escape. scores of people are still missing in the nearby hills. many presumed dead. these satellite images demonstrate how much the fires have spread since friday. a little cocktail of extreme heat, strong winds, and to prolong drought is mostly to blame. wires are continuing to smolder all over this area and in other parts of the bill, bill annually region of south central chile. and if the winds pick up as far as you seem to believe they will, it will spread much, much further. this farmer who also lost his house, blamed chiles, powerful forest companies who planted eucalyptus and pine trees all over the region . you don't really know where you're living. frontier trees,

suck up all the water here. there's nothing left for us, and it's turned our land in turn, matchbox, still, most people who've lost everything tell us they've already dried their tears. did in our opinion by way of our country is very peculiar. if we don't get hit by earthquakes, we have seen armies or floods now fires. so we've jillions of learned to be resilience. chili's government has begun receiving assistance from its neighbors and spain to help exhausted firefighters. as we see more new fires emerging from the nearby hills, it's obvious that help can't come fast enough. to see a newman al jazeera center, one at chilly at least 15 people have been killed in a landslide in peru, hundreds of homes in the area, keep a region where damaged torrential rains. have been sweeping the area for days, peruse, national emergency center, said search and rescue efforts. ongoing authorities worn at the death toll might

earthquakes more than 5000 people have been killed across turkey and syria. rescue teams are searching for survivors in both countries, but freezing temperatures are complicating those efforts. some people say they haven't received any help to find missing loved ones and international aid efforts are being stepped up best after the turkish government appeals for help. countries including katara, taiwan and pakistan is sending medical aid funding and search and rescue personnel . he now is al jazeera muhammad var, with more on the devastation caused by the earthquakes. this is what's left of one of tortillas, most historic cities, her type. it's largely reuben's following to paul from earthquakes, and hundreds of tremors on monday. more than 1200 buildings have been destroyed. in the province. people spent the night sifting through rubble. looking for signs of life, the little sister booth we heard their calling out,

asking for help. they are asked to be rescued. we cannot rescue them. how can we rescue them? nobody has come since this morning. nobody we have nobody look around. look, this lovely to god we heard voices. our children are in bed. what can we do? all the building is already partially collapsed. this is human life. what can you do when you hit calls for help? oh, there are no emergency workers, no soldiers, nobody. this is a neglected place. ok, so much for your awe. listening for any sign of survival. these rescue teams in getting into court for complete files. moments later, ladies on a similar operations are being carried out in mulatto dealbreaker at dun, and several other locations across tokyo. what the scale of destruction is

a challenge for us to, to several airports were put out of service by the quick's along with some hospitals. those still operating are overcrowded. the death tom is rising, and thousands of people are injured or homeless. in neighboring syria, a similar situation. we have to consider a population that has been a struggling to get access to all the basic services or all the supply lines are going through turkey. and given the situation just across the board, the supply lines are extremely weak today and they were yesterday. so we are trying to find suppliers will manage to find ways to get her food and, and the equipment across the border. the main one for you made an 8 was closed by that hour, and we are hoping that this will reopen brace. soon as, as in tokyo rescue was initially asked to extracting survivors from under collapsed

buildings, cheering and he lucky fight such as this young boy in the town agenda was both damascus and, and kind of say, they need international help and urgently. i'm at 5 a da 0 and take he is vice president has asked people to keep off the rose unless strictly necessary sondra digit. and it's very important that we keep these roads open so that transportation can be provided on time. disaster fighting vehicles and our team can quickly carry out the work in the field. we especially want to one else citizens who do not have a job in the disaster area, not to use these roads and not to go to the area. a port in the turkish city of is kendra room has been severely damaged. the earthquake caused dogs to collapse, shipping containers can't fire and are continuing to burn the state energy company
